Beyond Carl Rogers: The Work of David Grove

(Counsellor)
Pages 186-196 | Published online: 06 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

This article is written with the belief that psychotherapy can be enriched by the addition of ideas from anthropology and holistic health care. This paper introduces the psychotherapy of David Grove. The paper tries to re-emphasize the need for therapists, or healers of all kinds, to be aware of the language, therapeutic structure and experience of clients. Clients' experiences are more fully understood in the context of greater awareness of the inter-relationships of language, experience, belief, enculturation and communication. Such awareness is posited as being crucial to holistic practitioners. Holistic psychotherapy regards people as living in culture; human qualities as living in people; and seeks to create healing experiences for clients by studying communication between real people. The case for a phenomenological therapy is put forward.
